    The study enrolled 167 patients with advanced liver cancer receiving TACE combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

  • 2

    Longitudinal supportive care needs (SCN) were assessed using various validated scales at baseline and 6-month follow-ups.

  • 3

    Higher SCN total scores were significantly associated with increased mortality risk, with a hazard ratio of 1.95 for each 1-SD increase.

  • 4

    Factors influencing longitudinal SCN included treatment response, psychological distress, caregiver burden, and socioeconomic status.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that SCN may serve as a dynamic prognostic indicator for survival in patients with advanced liver cancer.
